Fresh + Fun Nursery Design

Happy Thursday! I am thrilled to be designing another nursery, this time with a very different, yet equally beautiful, aesthetic from #southhamptonnursery. My latest client has hired me to help create a space for her baby boy that includes touches of bold color and pattern. After our initial consultation and learning more about what she is naturally drawn to, I started working on my design plan. While I was brainstorming fabrics, I kept coming back to Quadrille's zig zag for it's fun and youthful feel:

One of the elements the client wants to include in the nursery is a twin bed for her son to grow in to. Right now, she just has the bed frame, so we need a headboard. I love the handsome feel of a navy tufted headboard:

For my design board, I included Rose Cummings' zebra wallpaper as a possibility for wallpapering the ceiling or walls in. The navy combined with the light blue and chartreuse in the Biscuit "Pete" bedding she already purchased seemed like a beautiful combination. As I mentioned above, I also love the green Quadrille zig zag fabric and would love to use it to reupholster her current glider. There are also two smaller windows in the room, so I picture doing two roman shades lined in a complementary green:

What are your thoughts on Quadrille's youthful textiles? Do you like the idea of mixing pattern and color here?

I love Quadrille...and love this design you put together. My daughter who is obssessed with the zebra print wants zebra wallpaper in her closet...so I'm glad you gave me the name of that one which is the one I was looking for. xx
